Let us express joy for the 50-summered Seal. By what power we know not, he managed to replace Heidi Klum. Fair play, Seal. Fair play.
Ever been on a fine dining date and got a skeef eye thrown at you from across the table, because the pint of your favourite pale ale just doesn’t look classy enough in the establishment? Maybe you’re a wine fundi that sits on the out-skirts of a braai, left alone to sip on your Chardonnay, while the others crack open a beer? Problem solved.
No polygraph needed. This five second subliminal test will have school yard chants of ‘Liar, liar pants on fire,’ echo from the water cooler today.
In the early 2000s, prior to the final burst of the IT bubble, deal websites like lastminute.com enjoyed devoted and widespread support in the States, Europe, and small pockets of South Africa. The premise was simple, and powerful: massive discounts on travel destinations would be offered for a very limited time only, and they had to be utilised within a few days. It’s a base appeal to the powerful sensations of spontaneity, and discount. So what happened?
Amanda Knox GUILTY, again. Schumacher blinks. Great news for Seinfeld fans. Rob Ford wishes he was Justin Bieber. Ukraine president takes sick leave. How Kim Jong Un’s uncle really got killed.

At the very top of Constantia Nek a contemporary boutique wine farm lies hidden waiting to be discovered, offering exquisite views of the Constantia Valley.
In case you were wondering how easy it is to heist a fast food joint, now you know. The 25-year-old male suspect allegedly asked for two cheeseburgers, pulled a toy gun on the unsuspecting cashier and made off with the contents of the till in his getaway car… sorry bicycle. He peddled away with R3,320 in cash, but left the cheeseburgers behind.
French newspaper L’Equipe has reported that Michael Schumacher is waking gradually from his artificially induced coma and is responding positively to treatment. The seven-time F1 champion has been in a artificial coma since 29 December, and has started the phase of gradual awakening this week. However, after five weeks in a medically induced coma, there are […]
If you were one of the lucky souls who caught Bastille at Kirstenbosch three weeks ago, be pleased. The folks over at Fancam have got you sorted. Lord knows how the did it, but the team created a 360 degree interactive image of the Bastille show. If you were there, go ahead and tag yourself, […]
Cape Town’s very own internet pet, Knoffel, will pull on the heartstrings as you watch him struggle with his existential doubts.
Gone are the days of outrageous and just plain stupid forcasts. Instead these visions for the consumer products of 2030 just make sense, and range from a bathroom mirror that gives you a health status, to solar and kinetic trainers that create electricity whilst exercising for immediate consumption by other wearable gadgets.
Nothing on the internet is safe, not even your Twitter handle. Naoki Hiroshima found this out when his websites and social media accounts were held for ransom by a hacker. All the hacker wanted in return was Hiroshima’s Twitter handle, @N, worth $50,000.
If you aren’t planning on boycotting the Sochi Olympics this year amidst the many human rights issues and PR disasters, then feel free to bookmark this interactive calendar. This little thing allows you to sort the Sochi goings-on by sport and date. But don’t be duped by the Yank time zones.
We know it becomes very cumbersome to lug around your death-ray from flat to flat. Urgh – and finding property in town with two bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, with a pool big enough to house your sharks with frickin lasers can be such a hassle.
It’s no secret that a high number of beach goers at Clifton 1st come en masse to oogle the lifeguards. Well shame, because the next time you’re drowning and pull the whole damsel in distress shtick, you are going to be thoroughly disappointed when a drone comes to save you instead of the hunk you were dreaming of.
“I’d like to order a toy.” Would you like fries with your heroine? That’s right, a McDonald’s employee in Pittsburgh was selling heroine over the counter when you asked to order a toy. After ordering, users simply went to the first drive-through window to collect their hard drugs.
It’s common knowledge that Facebook just isn’t signing up as many users as it once was. The plateau makes sense, given the sheer size of the user base, which remains large despite a flurry of reports indicating a teenage user exodus. Those studies didn’t stop Facebook from declaring 63% increase in revenue and an eightfold increase in profit for the fourth quarter yesterday.
The Waterkloof Four have been slated for parole in February, according to the Correctional Services Department. Reinach Tiedt, Gert van Schalkwyk, Christoff Becker and Frikkie du Preez will be released together on 11 Febuary. The group was initially sentenced to 12 years each after murdering a homeless man in Eastern Pretoria in 2001.
Remember this email from a sorority sister at Delta Gamma in University of Maryland? Well it seems as if these American kids never learn. This time the email was sent out from a College of William & Mary fraternity brother, and it is much, much worse. Included below are some of the unbearable excerpts:
Having £1 million in the bank may be a dream for most, but when you’re the Queen of England that means you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel and eating moldy biscuits. But help is on the way, from the most unlikely of places. Can taking advice from Downton Abbey solve One’s dreary financial state?
Go ahead and give the #forsale hashtag on Instagram a little look-see quickly. What did you see? Thousands upon thousands of items for sale, right? Correct. Which is why Hashbag exists. No, that isn’t something to keep your weed in – it’s aggregated online thrift shopping, via Instagram. And it’s great.
Well this certainly isn’t going to do much good for global cyclist/motorist relations. Commuting by bicycle is becoming increasingly common in London (and Cape Town, for that matter), and the city has responded over the course of the last decade by installing dedicating bicycle lanes parallel to traffic. And that’s the place where confrontation between motorists […]
J.R.R. Tolkien might have imagined it, but it took Danish programmers for us to see it from space. It’s called The Middle-Earth DEM Project and will have fantasy nerds walking their way from the Shire to Mordor in no time.
Showing the middle finger to gravity, these skateboarders have taken over the rooftops of NYC. Enjoy the resulting footage taken from the film ‘Tengu: God of Mischief’.
100,000+ petition Obama to deport Justin Bieber. Google selling Motorola. Syrian rebels take control of oil. Kanye confronts Wintour. Academy disqualifies Oscar nominee. Two women carrying Hugh Grant’s babies.
That’s correct. 3D food printers aren’t just limited to organisations like NASA. Machines like the Foodini could be on your kitchen counter very soon, that is if you are willing to shell out around R15,000.
Conference calls… Urgh. There is very little joy in the workplace, let alone conference calls, with disconnects, disruptions and shoddy communication that makes you want to pull your hair out. YouTube duo Tripp & Tyler have visually re-enacted the bane of every office workers existence in visual form, and it’s godammn funny.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is quickly establishing himself as a bankable actor after a series of significant roles in films like The Dark Knight Rises, Inception and Looper. He’s more than that, pushing forward with his Just Hit Record brand by writing and directing his first feature film, Don Jon.
Despite the mammoth popularity and adoption of Whatsapp and WeChat, Mxit is still confident enough to establish new roots in another country, namely India. Remember that Mxit is in fact still one of the largest social media channels in South Africa with over 7.4 million users, and with India’s massive population and cell phone user base over just over 900 million, it makes a lot of sense.
